Bug Description
I have a system monitor applet in my upper panel, set to show network traffic. It shows constant traffic, in fact, the less traffic there is, the more it shows.
I also have Network Monitor 2.12.0 as an applet, to monitor my wireless connection. If I open it it shows a 60 to 64 % signal, and no packets being tranferred, and yet the system monitor shows at least 60 to 70% traffic.
When I open an application that accesses the internet or network, the system monitor shows a more normal amount of traffic, and when I close the app that accesses it jumps back up to the higher access level.
I have Firestarter, and it shows no attempts to access or scan or hack my computer, so I know its not some covert access.
Its not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it.
Alsp. when I tried to submit this report, I was told System Monitor 2.16.1 does not exist in Ubuntu. I guess I got an ubuntu that has packages included with the distro that are not part of anyone elses distro, cause it was installed by default.
Thank you for your bug. The network monitor is shipped with gnome-applets, marking duplicate of bug #15436
